“Ignore” more than “tolerate”. Clearly not here for dialog, and I can’t imagine I’d be taking anything from their perspective either. Well, maybe being extremely skeptical of any authority (with the exception of their fave obvs.) and paranoid that any new rules will be misused to hassle the common folk. I probably don’t need much more of that though.

I can’t recall anything informative or positive about bikes or cycling from that quarter and no humour either. I’m not gonna get “those” jokes though.

yeah. I’m in the same boat.

yeah. I’m in the same boat. Didn’t really appreciate Python until secondary school. The Goons also are a favourite. The humour though wouldn’t get airtime now. I was reading that Cleese was dropping “Always Look on the Bright Side” as it no longer offended for a new stage show. He was keeping others which now have risen to offensive rather than just plain silly.

You’ve now made brooksby’s day.

I’ve seen a lot of Python over the years but missed that one, for some reason.  Too young to have watched it the first time around, but old enough to remember when it was still being repeated on broadcast telly (have just rediscovered it on Netflix).

A slightly different version

A slightly different version of “lightheartedness”, but it made me smile the other day:

My thoughts as well. I’m sure

My thoughts as well. I’m sure Flint, Roulereo etc we’re all in ecstasy at that point ?

I vaguely remembered it to.

I vaguely remembered it to. My fettling is basic to say the least but I do have a sense of super hero powers when I get called on to tweak a cable ?

Brilliant!  I’d never even heard of that Python sketch before.

PS – Do you reckon John Cleese is pretending to be Roulereo of this parish at the end…? 😉
